I don’t know if any of this works because I still haven’t tried but I’ve read that they don’t like sandalwood and I have a sandalwood oil perfume so that’s on the list. some people say they use the Trader Joe’s lemongrass body oil as mosquito repellent. I own some kind of hippie DEET-free bug spray that I always forget to put on… it’s most likely my negligence that makes me suffer but it shouldn’t be like this just going into my backyard!!! White flower oil which I’ve recommended before for a number of applications is also amazing applied to bites

🕷Simple: If you do not want bug bites, get this lavender oil from The Herb Bar in Austin, Texas. The store is magical, to say the least, and it’s the only bug repellent I’ve ever found that works.

🕸spiders don't like the way they smell! apparently if you just spray some essential oils around they'll migrate elsewhere. i just googled to fact-check myself and apparently the same goes for lavender and mint, which are maybe slightly gentler on the (human) nose

essential if you’re a sweaty b*tch like me. I’ve been using it for ten years it’s non toxic and keeps you odorless… comes in citrus, rose and sage can recommend all three. Also so good for touchups on the go but be careful because a few years ago the cap came loose in my bag and it spilled and the alcohol literally dissolved the bottom of my patent leather Marc Jacobs purse 🤡

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
